As of today got it working on my Acer Aspire One 150 (first released model) and what can I say.. so far so good!. Everything worked out of the box and without any hassle. The only thing which's causing me to keep an eye over it is the networking capabilities over wireless (it's well known by their given problems with the athk5 stock driver module and the madwifi workarounds).

Regardless this time wireless worked surprisingly fine and with the stock kernel module, I have reasons to think there's something more to tweak or look over there, one of the symptoms I do have right now is a very laggy or delayed response at time of resolve names or make lookups, something similar's happening with bigger than usual timeouts while trying to reach other hosts, both locally and externally.

Overall, this had become a quality/stable/speedy release that far exceeded my expectations and the first choice of boot on my little toy by now.

Hope somebody else has had the oportunity to give it a try with the same hardware and throw out some input.

You might want to look at your /etc/resolv.conf file to see what is given for name servers.

Yes, I had a similar peoblem once and I realized the dns server provided by my isp was not working well, I switched to OpenDNS and that solved it.I just added their IPs to my /etc/resolv.conf like this:

Code:

nameserver 208.67.222.222nameserver 208.67.220.220

I have two problems.First: In rc.modules i've uncommented my networkcard. With VL 5.9 this was enough to get connected to the internet from boot (as far as I recall). But with 6.0 light there is no connection; I have to use dhcpcd to get connected. How do I solve this?

Second: I used the firewall that comes with VL light but now everytime I shutdown the computer I get the message:

The only way to stop it is simply switch the computer off, which is the wrong way of course.In VASM I've tried to stop the firewall, but everytime I klik 'stop firewall' the VASM menu dissapears and then nothing, I still get the 'Stopping firewall' messages so obviously the firewall hasn't stopped. How do I reverse things i.e. stop and disable the firewall?

Yesterday I got online from the laptop and updated and installed a few packages from the repos. Today, when I opened a pdf I was reading the day before, before the packages were installed, I saw no writing...just some pictures (arrows/bullets etc.)

xpdf was opened from the command line so I looked at the terminal and these lines kept appearing. I did an su to root and ran xpdf from the command line as root, and this time, the pdf was displayed correctly. (same thing in the root account, it works fine)

Another thing: pcmanfm file associations were gone I reinstalled pcmanfm and I got them back, but the pdf problem still remained.

In the attachment are the /var/log/packages files modified yesterday and today.
